Seriously diminishing returns may be emerging in bulk collection. The disgruntlement this is creating in the intelligence community work force and the recruiting pool may not be worth the gains. Hard targets must be taking counter-measures as awareness grows. But, in fairness to the IC, its really a political problem. If zero tolerance is the goal for attacks against the US then zero privacy is going to be the result.
- jjawssd 10y agoThe real value of bulk collection is in the political elite targeting their future opponents through exploitation of their flaws after digging through the treasure trove of data obtained in the dragnet. THIS is the real danger to society. Not, "we have nothing to hide so we don't care."
